World of Goo Review

Introduction

World of Goo is a puzzle game where you build structures so balls of goo can reach a target location on a level. Each level has a target number of balls to reach the exit and once you have reached the target the level is complete.

Gameplay

The structures you build are made of goo balls. Different coloured balls have different properties, black builds rigid structures and white builds non-rigid structures. There game is split into 5 chapters each chapter with a different theme.

The graphics 2D and have an interesting and unique art style. The found the puzzles interesting and fun.

Once the game is complete there are OCD challenges involving replaying a level but needing to collect much more goo balls. There is a tower building level where you have to build as tower as tall as possible, you also get to see the heights other players towers.

Conclusion

World of Goo is a fun puzzle game that has interesting physics for the way the goo balls stick together and interact. The difficulty is just right, and if you need more help in-game sign posts have tips on them. It is a lot of fun and I recommend playing.
